Workshops and Events

In this section:

We work at the neighborhood level to provide information, resources and tips so you can discover new ways to fold pollution prevention and resource conservation into your everyday yard and gardening routine. Our events, workshops and presentations offer you the opportunity to explore which methods will work best for you. There are many ways to get involved!

Our FREE Workshops demonstrate sustainable gardening practices that reduce pollution and conserve water while saving you time, money and energy.

Our annual Naturescaped Yard Tour gives you behind the scenes access to yards of do-it-yourself gardeners who have created low-maintenance landscapes that attract wildlife, conserve water, and have no need for synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

We are happy to give a Short Presentation on a variety of subjects to your group, club, organization, or at your meeting, event or training.
